Explain to me why Ethereum isn't just hype.

• nikolay 10y ago
  N.B. This here is HN, not Reddit. It's like asking - is the next major version of something just a hype. Okay, Bitcoin was good, it introduced the concept of the blockchain and solved a long-standing issue in a very energy inefficient way. To run all this computing power just so that Chinese thieves and speculators can sneak out stolen money or increase it as they either lack means to invest elsewhere or it'd be just too sophisticated for them to do, is a ridiculous concept that cannot be sustained for too long! P.S. By promoting Bitcoin, you support Climate Change, illicit businesses, and stinky speculation.

    Just by breathing you can also say I support Climate Change, illicit businesses and stinky speculation. Where are ethereums killer apps? Something so groundbreaking that it takes the world by storm. The browser, or bittorrent for example. Or is it just another chain in the centipede of cryptocurrency "innovation"?

      Elusive Dapps, and the Casper PoS system.
